Ray Lewis rallied the Baltimore Ravens for 17 seasons with his infamous speeches, but since he’s retired they needed another leader to get the team going. He criticized quarterback Joe Flacco for not being that person. Today, however, Lewis issued an apology to Flacco with a video he posted on his Twitter account.

Time magazine decided to put Colin Kaepernick on the cover after the conversation he started with his protest over the national anthem. Whether you hate him or love him, he has everyone talking about things that aren’t necessarily comfortable for most people to speak on and that alone is a good thing. The way he has handled himself in spite of all the racist messages directed at him, not too mention the death threats, should be applauded. Leave it to Ray Lewis to demean what Kaepernick has done and say he shouldn’t be on the cover because he “isn’t the face of police brutality”. That’s exactly what he did yesterday on the Fox sports show “Speak For Yourself”.

Numerous black athletes including Jerry Rice, Ray Lewis, and Shaq, all condemned Colin Kaepernick in his protest of refusing to stand for the national anthem in light of the oppression, inequality, racism, and police brutality against black people. D.L. Hughley is now demanding action from these legendary athletes in light of the shooting death of Terence Crutcher.

Things are continuing to shake up on ESPN’s NFL coverage, they will look dramatically different next year. It was already reported that Mike Ditka is out from the Countdown show (though he will remain with the network in an emeritus role), and that Matt Hasslebeck and Charles Woodson are on their way in. Trent Dilfer is also reportedly leaving in addition to two other names, Cris Carter and Ray Lewis.

There’s always a set of people who bring up black-on-black crime whenever black people protest against police brutality. The latest person to push this rhetoric is former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.

I don’t know about you but I can’t get jiggy to this sh*t! I have no clue who put the battery in the back of Ray Lewis to start making music but it should have stopped there. Nobody around him should have let him actually release the music to the public because, well, it’s freaking Ray Lewis and he doesn’t know a damn thing about making music. Yesterday he released a snippet of his song “Can You Stand The Rain” and even though I have no idea how the song ends, I know it’s terrible. I’m all for people stepping out of their comfort zone to try new things but this did not go well.

Ray Lewis is a future Hall of fame Linebacker and super bowl champion, but in 2000 all of that almost went up in smoke when he along with two others were charged with the murders of Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker afte. Lewis eventually reached a plea bargin in the case and plead guilty to obstruction of justice charges, but in his new book “I Feel Like Going On: Life, Game, And Glory,” Lewis gives his accounts of what really happened.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker, Terrell Suggs, suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon last week during the first regular season game against the Denver Broncos. The veteran is expected to be out for the remainder of the season, but says that this season would not be his last.

Ray Lewis spent his entire 17-year career as a linebacker with the Baltimore Ravens. In addition to his plays on the field, he was known for his passionate speeches and preaching ability. Yesterday riots broke out in Baltimore in response to the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died of a severe spinal cord injury after police arrested him. Businesses were looted and burned down, and both police and protestors suffered injuries. I also want to mention that THOUSANDS also joined together in peaceful protests that weren’t as widely covered through the media. In any event, Lewis took to his Twitter account and also made a video asking people to stop the violence.
